I recently had this same person scam me and it wasnt' until after i went to the police that i found this site. The exact email was sent to me as well. They sent a fake check that was from a fake bank. Supposedly She was in Paris with her sick uncle yet her apyment came from a bank in California. YET she's from South Dakota.. um.. yeah! Then she sent a check, not a money order. Signed by James Hill. Said for me to deposite it quickly and send her money. But when I said I would need it to clear first she said well thend o me a favor and send me 350$ for moving my stuff becuase the money was all in her uncle's account. When i said no, she flipped out. But did send me info in an email to send MY money to. Beware of this as well :

Hi ,

Thanks so much for the concern roomie,As i have told you the shipper needs to have the money asap,so that is why i don't want any other delay,,I have told the shipper that i'll be sending $ ,if you can today .The amount to send with the service fee is $2300

And to make the delievery of my things fast and for me not to loose much money,he told me that i should make sure that i get the money sent to him at where he is now...So just write down the shippers info below locate a westernunion location (and you can do that by logging onto http://www.westernunion.com and find agent location around you ) and get the information below written down as the info below is what you will be needing at the westernunion location...and go there with cash as the money will be sent electronically

Please as soon as you get it sent ,Kindly make sure that you email me the sending informations such as the ,

1.Sender's full name and address,2.Refrence Number3..Total money sent...

Please make sure that You get this done asap so that i don't loose all that i ve worked for!,And please kindly let me know if i'll be needing anything for the room again and let me know if i can change the colour?I'll also hope that You 'll still be able to come and pick me up,I'll get the flight Information to you as soon as i solve the shipping problem....

This same person sent me those EXACT e-mails. she used the e-mail address "misspavez@aol.com" and went by the name "Nicole Wayne". I actually fell for it and believed every word she said and I sent $2500 through western union for her "shipper, liliana lugo in san bernardino". I filed a police report, a fraud report with western union, and a claim on my bank. Police are all over it, they are checking the I.P. numbers on her e-mails and fingerprints on the conterfeit check she sent me through fedex. Also, I am working with detectives to try and track her down. She said to send the money to San Bernardino, but my lawyer and police officers spoke to the CEO of western union's fraud department and he told them that "liliana lugo" picked up the money in Highland, CA, not San Bernardino. She obviously used a fake ID to pick up the money at western union. But I have great detectives on this case right now so I really hope they catch her, or it might even be a male. I don't want this to happen to any one else so BE CAREFUL. NEVER SEND MONEY THROUGH WESTERN UNION, unless it's money to family or friends.

I just posted an ad for a room for rent in Indianapolis. I received this same email and "she" was asking me too take down the ad that she wanted to secure the room. I completed a reverse email search unable to find what i wanted, so i posted her email in google and your site popped up. Let me know if there is anything that I can do to help you out with this since she is actively contacting me.

I too have just received an email from our good friend "Ms" Williams. I posted an ad for a roommate in Portland OR, and hers was the first reply. The grammar was lacking, and the email had a "formula" feel to it, though it did make reference to security deposit and utilities (which was mentioned in the ad), as well as a request for more pictures (the ad contained these also). It appears my suspicions were confirmed, and whoever this is, they appear to be actually reading the postings they are replying to.

As with the previous poster, I am currently "in contact" with her, and if there is anything I can do, just say so.

Wow, recession sure hit this person. I got the same email too. The wonderful world of Internet. I do a quick check online with her name and here I am in this scam chat room. I am so relief to find this out as my guts was telling me something is not right about this person. Anyhow, I just received the second email which like what posted here today. I do advice everyone to do the background check through agency. I don't have one to recommend but you should be able to ask your local Realtor who is involve in property rental. I hope this Bas***d get caught soon.

Almost forgot.. alot of things she would send in her replys sounded weird and Never answered any of my questions. The big thing to cought my eye is that I tracked fedex tracking number she gave me and its coming from VA. So I guess she is there now, or there are more then one person doing the same scam

not sure what a scammer could do with responding to a room for rent ad but glad I didn't respond with my real info.

If you would have agreed to rent the room to her she would have sent you a cashier's check to pay for the rent/deposit, but it would have been for more than the agreed on amount . . . she would then ask you to wire the rest back to her, or on to the people that are transporting all of her items (furniture, etc) After you wire the money off, the bank will find that the check is counterfeit and they will hold YOU liable for the entire amount.

I was renting a room on craigs list and this is the response I got from daviesluciadav@aol.com.. very similar to your response.. Luckily I sensed she was trying to scam me..;
